1 edit | [Serious] Border agent shot; shooter kills self At the Peace Arch crossing in to Washington State, a Canadian Border agent was shot by an assailant, who then killed himself. The crossing is CLOSED until investigation completed. » www.foxnews.com/us/2012/10/16/us···+Text%29The Peace Arch crossing on the U.S.-Canada border was closed Tuesday afternoon after a Canadian agent was shot.
Few details were immediately available, but U.S. Customs and Border Protection spokesman Mike Milne says the crossing was closed due to police activity on the Canadian side, and the Washington Department of Transportation confirmed on its Twitter feed that traffic was being rerouted due to the shooting of a border agent.
Initial news reports indicated that the female agent was wounded, and that the suspect then fatally shot himself.
Washington state Department of Transportation spokeswoman Kris Olsen said it will be up to Canadian border officials to determine when the crossing will reopen.
"We're telling people they obviously need to use other routes to get across the border," she said, adding that the State Route 543 and State Route 9 entrances were open. More info: » www.ctvnews.ca/canada/cbsa-says-···1.998401» www.theglobeandmail.com/news/bri···4616790/--

| Man's that a good drive to the Hospital. Peace Arch isn't a trauma center, so she would be driven to Surrey Memorial some 10 kilometers away.
***Nevermind, airlifted to Royal Colombian, the regions trauma hospital.

One can count the number of times CBSA officers have had to draw their weapon in the line of duty in the past two years at the Niagara border crossings on one hand. It is not a job one typically thinks their spouse may not return home from, but this goes to show that the risk is still there. Huge blow for the CBSA is all I can say. |

Ok....I live about 1km from the shooting.
The officer was in her booth or standing in the door when shot. The
suspect (Washington plates on van) shot himself right after shooting
the border guard. She was breathing on her own as she was being
loaded into the helicopter.

I hope her injuries are not life threatening or debilitating and she has a quick recovery.

| She was shot in the neck, the potential Hydrostatic shock would be life threatening. |

Great news! I hope she gets well soon. Does anyone know why the shooter went wacko-Jacko? There was initial speculation that it may be a domestic situation. I personally don't believe that as my experience has been that the spouses of female CBSA officers are well adjusted individuals who would never snap like that. |

Men married to CBSA officers know that their wives can kick their ass if they get out of line. |

whoa, Thats a rare one! I'm wagering the rounds won't be hollow point for that to occur, probably a 9mm or .38.
